AT last railway has been opened to
traffic in China. 1t has taken the Celestial
Empire hundred years to appreciate the
fact that the world of men is moving for
ward. Up to this time China has looked
backward ever. Governed by patriarch
ism, her vision has always turned rear
ward. But now that China has admitted
the railroad, has withheld her hand from
repeating its action when former railway
outfit wasoverturned and cast upon the sen
shore, there is no telling what wonderful
changes may be worked in the most exclu-
siye notien in the world.

OF the advantages of system so desir.
able in every way. The gravest objection
we have heard urged against tie proposed
change is that it may offer opportunities
for fraudulent count. AS matter OF
fact, however, the dual sets of judges, re-
ceiving and counting, should and will
operate as check against possible fraud,
either in "stuffiDg" ballot boxes Or alter
ing votes. And as the law provides that
each political party may have a repre-
sentative to watch the count, tits difficult
to explain how fraud is to be perpetrated
without collision, not only between the
two sets of judges, but also between the
representatives of parties on guard SIS
watchers. The plan is honest and simple,
and THE GAZETTE is assured the people
will be pleased with its workings as soon
as they give it q test. THE GAZETTE is
further assured that several senators and
representatives have expressed them
selves as decidedly in favor of the change,
and there would seem to be no obstacle in
the way Of securing the amendments
recommended by the secretary of state.
a bill to that effect introduced in either
house of the legislature can hardly fail of
passage.

AS THE Illinois Legislature, which meets
next Monday, is Republican, Senator L0-
gan's successor will Of course be Re-
publican. Ii there is anything in senti-
mental strength c. B. Farwell of Chicago
will be the man, because he will in all
probability command the undivided sup
port of the Logan element. Farwell and
Logan had been bitter enemies Tor years,
and when Logan was in the field the LAST
time Farwell was urged to become can
didate too He could nave given "Black
Jack" sturdy fight. but he declined,
saying Logan deserved well of the party,
had been defeated on the national ticket
for the vice-presidency and ought to have
the senatorship. This touched Logan,
and he called on Fsrwell to express his
gratitude. The two buried their differ
ences, and it is quite probable that Lo-
gan's friends will lot forget Farwell if
the latter has senatorial aspirations now.

The Happy New Year.

To the Editor of the Gazette.
The prompter's DELL has rung, the men
and women players have left the stage,
the curtain falls upon the drama 1856"
IT'S midnight. Another bell rings out the
hour, the players hasten to their places
to welcome in the new playto be enacted.
The curtain went down in darkness, one
cleaning, rising star alone to save from
utter Obscurlty; but as its dusky folds
arise the anxious onooker sees tie soft
light of roseate dawn, already cleaning
on the distant hill-tops, that harbingers
the bright meridian glow as well as do the
shadoWy valleys foreteil in time there
shall be shades deepening into night pro-
found. Have scenes Of earth no perma-
nency? Is the law of change imperative?
Are memories realities, or only visions?
One short week ago and the scene was
one of merriment; the holly and the mis-
tletoe shone on the wall, and from many
hearts went out the tuneful refrain, "Oh,
night divine, when Christ was borR;"
an now those same hearts chant the re-
QUEEN of dying, dead year. Blessed
oe change. Eirth's garment is not a
pail; the picture is complete in lights
and shadows; the drama lifelike, in that
there is here is mingled the glad shout If
hope with the minJr strains of sorrow.
Broken resolves, u removed obstacles
sad Weddings to temptation, all may Else
to taunt with hooking voice, but lar
above all these the sweet, clear, silvery
tone rises from the better nature
inspiring the heart with new pur
poses ard evolving from tn
medley of discords harmony hesve
sent and heaven directed. Let no dul
ear fail to catch the melody, and in The
soft dawn of the New Year morning los
the inspiration OF the hour. Happiness
to all; that happiness which is the eff ,tI
aud not the object; happiness which
comes of weli-doiDg and seii-forgetfu-
ness, glowing through the heart, cleans |
ing and purifying its inmost recesses, and
warming all coming within its radlu;I
withi its own congenialiiy. The rosest,
light is for all earths children; i
en- ers howell and palace, and fail
not at noontide TO brighten both; :
takes its course gladly, although tie
night cometh. So let each take the les
son, and thus living, can at the end wrsp
the drapery of his couch around him aid
lie down to pleasant dresms. A happy
year to all, to all HAPPY YEAR.

tism, and the men who make up the party
in Texas resent the insinuatlon that
Democracy lives because of "the war and
the issues just subsequent"
At the close of the war the soldiers OF
the South were disguised with the Demo-
cratic party. Whether justly or unjustly,
they had looked to that party in the North
for aid, and, instead, saw that Demo-
Democratic muskets had made the defeat
of :he South and the salvation of the
Union possible. Taere may have been
Southern quartermasters and Southern
politicians who did not share the
popular feeling in the South af
ter Appomat'ox, but the men who had
lived on parched corn and marched bare
foot and stormed breastwoIks and gave
up all for Dixie, were ripe for any polit-
ical utilization that promised Justice.
Blinded ~ success and unlimited power
the Radical party ignored the white man
and put its arms about the negro. The
South was, to great extent, forced
back into the Democratic party, and as
the years went by and the people saw
how true to principle were the Northern
Democrats, and how the party was the
only hope of free government, patriotism
triumphed and the south became thor
oughly DemOcratic-not because of the
war, but in spite Of it. But for Democ-
would have been violated and the class
distinctions of which men now complain
would be intrenched beyond hope
Of expulsion. The very complaints
OF the people are possible because of De-
mocsacy, and yet Democracy has not
been able to assert itself fully because
the people have been blinded by Radical
inesse.
Such letters as that of Mr.. Gibbs Will
be hailed with delight by upholders of a
dying Radicalism and give them fresh
courage. Much that he says other Dem
ocrats have said and indorse, but the
tone in which he writes recalls the days
of the summer in Texas when dyed-in-
the-wool Radicals led Democratic revolt
and intensified Democratic dissatisfac
ton, and said just what he says. Mr..
Gibbs truly declares that
a majority of Texas Democrats would prefer
to see the natl nal party in .he mi oritv as the
r suit OF strict adhere ce to the constitution
and honest a earnest fl rts in the interest
of an economical admin ira ion of the govern.
ment than to see 1t a majority party, as the re
suit OF tempOrlzing policies.
And as Il true Democrat, Mr.. Gibbs
should have added that the Democracy
could not in two years undo what Radi-
calism had done in twenty-five years, and
that Radical legislation is responsible for
every i'll in national law that nov affiicts !
the people, and for those very things |
which be specifies in his quasi srraign-
ment of Democracy for sins of Radical

CH1NAaiEN must go. The Knights Of
Labor have SO decreed: they are not
wanted in any capacity nor in any section.
As laborers they work too cheap and can
live too easily; no pork-eating American
can compete with rat-eating foreigners.
and the latter must go. This feeling Of
luminosity long since manifested itself IN
mistakably on the Pacific slope, but only
recently has it shown any intensity in the
East. Recently at Bellville, n. Y, a
large number of Chinese were discharged
from laundry thee, through the in
fiuence of the Knights, and now there is q
general movement among the steam
lsundrymen If Newark to organize fight
against the thinese washer-woman.

THAT sentimentality which leads to
treating the widows of our distinguished
men as objec of a nations charity seems
of q sickly nature and cannot in most in
stances be regarded as the spontaneous
outburst OF peoples gratitude. Is there
to be a privileged class among a free
people, class which shall by luxurious
living lay tax on those who bravely
struggle for existence? As we'll titled
aristocracy at once and all it brings with
it. Where is the consistency in Offering
Mrs. Logan a pension, and On what
ground could such petition be presented
to congress? She is herself, in age and
attainments, fully able to do life's work;
and although it is hard-fought struggle,
thousands of women with less
equ pment have gone into it and
won the victory of independence.
More than this, by her side stands her
son who he's borne himself so manfully
during the trying scenes of the past
week, aud whose manhood ought to rebel
against his mother being made pen
sioner of public bounty. Better hardship
and self denial than ease and luxury pur-
chased at such price; and it seems that
no such precedent should be established
as would lead public officials to expect
their widows and children will be cared
for, however improvident they in
their lives may have been. Gen. Logan
left to his family life insurance OF
$4,000, real estate, and his book, "The
Great Conspiracy" A much more deli
cate way OF aiding his widow, if she
needs aid, is for his friends and admirers
to push its sale at once, thus manifesting
an appreciation of her husband which
will &c more acceptable to her than sub
scriptions solicited or congressional pen
sions.

4 SOUTHERN SPEAKER.

|
ciety of New York h5d royal meeting,
its eighty-first banquet III honor of the
landing of the Pilgrims 266 years ago.
Besides the 900 members there were some
distinguished guests, notable ameng
whom were Gen. Sherman, DR.. Talmage,
Walter Phelps and Henry W. Grady of
the Atlanta Constitution. Some grand
toasts were spoken, to which equally as
| grand responses were made. But the
speech Of the evening was made by the
/ Georgia editor, the first out-and-out
Southerner ever asked to dinner of the
New England society.
Commenting upon it the next day the
New York Sun said, eGitOrially:
The grand feature of the New England din.
ner last night was the speech of Editor Grady
of the Atlanta Cons tuition. 1t was the best
that has been delivered Ia New York for MANY
years.
The Sun could well call it "grand
FEATURE" for the speech was master
piece. Pointed, polished, pregnant with
thought, aglow with eloquence, it
captured the minds and hearts of those
kindly New Workers, and they cheered
themselves hoarse. The silvery sentences
Of the man from Dixie completely won
them over, and Grady was the lion of the
hour, fetcd by ths first people of Ameri-
cas- magnificent metropolis.
Was it not proud triumph? Not
merely for the individual, but for the
Southland he represented. The "New
South was his theme. But has it not
always been thus from the foundation of
the government? With all the shortcom-
ings of the old South the men it produced
were Of no common sort. Not Greece in
proudest days of the republic or the most
splendid era of the empire ever produced
nobler specimens of our race than the
Southern states of the American
Union. Call the long roll of the l.
lustrlous dead and see how many
were born beneath Southern skies.
For three quarters of century Southern
craftsmanship administered, Southern
patriotism preserved, and Southern ge-
MUS upheld, illustrated and adorned the
model republic of the world.
1t was the brave spirit Of Patrick HeL-
~ that kindled the opposition to British
aggression into determined resistance,
and arousing a nation to arms, inaugu-
rated the war Of the revolution. Thomas
Jefferson, catching the inspiration that
had wrapped Virginia and North Carolina
into the flames Of holy enthusiasm for
human rights, penned the immortal decla-
ration of American independence. James
Madison and his compeers framed
the constitution of the United States-an
instrument which however perverted and
abused through Puritan misconstruction
deserves TO be ranked with Magma Cnarta
and enshrined forever in the hearts of
mankind.
These things are mentioned as the
doings of Southern men, of representa-
tives OF the old South. a new order of
things has come to pass, but let not South
erners of the present forget the glory of a
heritage that is theirs, the honor of being
countrymen of men nobler than whom
earth never produced.

Do NOT write 1t 1886 any more-the

As we ring out the old and ring in tn

100, will soon be the old, and must be

course will bring thought of it, and with
the thought, perhaps, looking forward
to the year when each that now is will
become what was. Shall not 1887, then,

act, that will take from the paDg of listen

MIR. GIBBS AND DEMOCRACY.

MIR. GIBBS and DEMOCRACY.
II 1884, as the candidate of the Dem-
ocratic party for Acknowledgements,
Barnett Gibbs stood before Fort Worth
audience and told of the grand accom-
plishments OF the Democracy, the identity
of its principles with those of the govern
ment itself, and dwelt rather on what the
party had done than on what it was doing
or would do. Presto! In 1856, ss de-
feated aspirant for Democratic nomina-
ton for congress, Barnett Gibbs writes a
letter to Allan G. Thurman in which
among other things he says:
To large majority in this section the war
and the Issues just subsequent are mere mat
tiers of history, and our political opinions and
affiliations are, and Will be, the result of our
convictions on current issues.
The voters ach cleo Ion show less DISPOSE
ton 10 form political convictions from mere
sentiment, ana are look ng more and more TO
practical legislative results and efforts, rather
than to he declarations and promises OF lead
ers party latforms. While there is roIhinS
TO Indicate any Intention on their part to trans
fer their support TO the Republican party, yet
it is yerv evident that they in end to hold the
D ,mocratic party 10 more strict accounta-
bility On live iss es, and that nothing short of
Or D performance of administrative and
legislative outies by the Democratic party will
retain their al egiance.
